For the record

For the record, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives do not represent me when they send warplanes into Syria. These acts of war are unauthorized by parliamentary consensus and without international sanction. I regret deeply Harper’s ill-advised use of Canada’s military to distract voters from his failure to manage our economy prudently.

We are in the majority who are strongly opposed to Harper’s direction on this, according to polls I’ve seen . Unfortunately, Harper got into his present position without the votes of a majority of Canadians. Let’s hope more of us will do better this year and vote the Conservatives back into oblivion.
